The Wally Five pocket (seen here in cream) creates a living wall in any space--inside or out.

The Wee Woolly is the smallest Woolly Pocket, measuring in at just 12 inches wide, six inches long, and six inches high.

At one school, Woolly Pocket and School Nutrition Plus installed pockets for 100 students, just more than were members of the club. Ever since, more and more kids have joined and wanted to plant pockets of their own.Photo by Suthi Picotte

This school had a dilapidated garden that would have been expensive to restore to gardening conditions. By hanging Woolly Wall Pockets on the staircase in the parking lot, which also acts as the playground and place the students eat their lunches, the school was able to create an instant garden wall in one day.Photo by Suthi Picotte

A set of three Wally Threes can quickly create a living wall.

Woolly Pocket's newest product is Woolly Vagabond, a pocket that can be carried as a purse, placed on a table, or hung from the ceiling.

Woolly Vagabond has no place for keys or a wallet but is meant to be carried as an accessory. "You can think of it as competition for the Chihuahua," Nelson says.
